China’s first lady goes toe to hemline with Trump women
Peng Liyuan is known as a conservative though elegant dresser, but she can still stand out against the two former models, fashion industry insiders say
A simple, minimal pattern and one single colour – that’s the advice of fashion experts for Chinese first lady Peng Liyuan when she goes toe to hemline against Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump at the opulent Mar-a-Lago resort.
Peng was to join Chinese President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump, along with Melania and Ivanka, for a dinner Thursday night US time, and one highlight of the affair is expected be the choice of attire.
But she is going up against two women who are celebrated style icons in their own right.
Peng might opt for a simple, elegant and modern outfit that would help her stand out from the Trump women, according to Jing Zhang, fashion editor at the South China Morning Post.
“I think she can dress more glamorously than she usually does, because the two Trumps are former models and their styles are much more polished ... than Peng’s usual style,” Zhang said.
